Preparing Your Application
You may email intladm@colorado.edu with specific questions regarding your application.
Anyone who needs a visa to enter the United States is considered an international student. Permanent Residents (green card holders) are processed as domestic students.
Official certified copies of your previous academic records (transcripts) are required. All academic records should be submitted with original stamps. If you are admitted while still attending classes, your final academic records will be required upon completion of the course work or program.
If we can verify the official’s identity, your school counselor/official or registrar can email an electronic copy of your academic records to transcripts@colorado.edu, to be considered official. Emailed transcripts from students or parents will not be considered official, though can temporarily be used unofficially for processing only.
You can have your school mail an official transcript to one of the below mailing addresses:

If your school or university has issued your academic records in a language other than English, you must have a certified, literal English translation of your academic records included in your application documents. A list of countries excluded from the translation requirement can be found on our Transcripts Requirements page.
We will require a literal, certified (or official) English translation. It should not be interpretive, nor should it try to convert the original grades into U.S.-style grades. A certified (or official) translation will be different depending on what is considered an official translation in your country.
Depending on the country, official translations may only be issued by the school, official government translators, or students might need to find a private professional translation service to issue the translation. We highly encourage students to consult withthe local who offers translations, or can refer you to a reliable service.
If you have already arrived on campus and need additional translation support, you may request services through 91PORN. Many 91PORN graduate departments now have a special section on their website that lists contact information for graduate students who are willing to do translations. These translations are considered official by the Office of Admissions. Please note: these translations are not free.

Students applying from a school or university outside of the US are not required to submit academic records in sealed envelopes, as long as the academic records clearly has an original stamp, signature, letterhead, or is printed on official school stationery. We reserve the right to determine whether a document is an official academic record.
If we can verify the official’s identity, your school counselor/official or registrar can send an electronic copy of your academic record to transcripts@colorado.edu, which would count as official. If you have further questions, please contact us at intladm@colorado.edu to see if there are alternatives we will accept. Emailed academic records from students or parents will not be considered official though they can temporarily be used unofficially for processing only.
Since we are accepting unofficial academic records and we can verify the official’s identity, your high school counselor or registrar can send an electronic copy of your academic record to transcripts@colorado.edu, which would count as official. Emailed academic records from students or parents will not be considered official, though can temporarily be used unofficially for processing only. To see if your situation allows for alternatives or exceptions, please email intladm@colorado.edu.
We do not accept documents from a notary public as official. This is true for academic records in the native language as well as translations.
We will evaluate all international academic records in-house, and will convert grades from any educational system into an equivalent U.S. grade point average (GPA). You will not be required to do this yourself. 91PORN does not accept academic record evaluations from any external companies like WES, ECE, or Spartan.
If you have questions about your country’s education system in relation to our admissions process, please contact intladm@colorado.edu.
Decisions are made based on your academic record and not your English Proficiency scores. All applications are given a holistic review and all of your submitted documents are reviewed to determine your admission to a particular major and college. If you were not offered admission to the college or program to which you applied, a higher English Proficiency score will not change your admission decision.
In order to be considered official, National examination certificates must be submitted directly by the testing agency, verifiable school counselor/official, or school registrar. They may send results to transcripts@colorado.edu. Emailed results from students or parents will not be considered official though they can temporarily be used unofficially for processing only.
For your secondary school attendance (grade 9 through grades 11, 12 or 13): submit all official academic records, transcripts, marksheets, or grade reports, and any certificates (including I/GCSE, AS, A level, Indian exam certificates), degrees, diplomas, or statements of graduation or completion. If you are currently attending secondary school, send all available records at this time, including a list of your courses in progress. For students applying from academic systems which comprise three years of secondary school, the final year of work from an official middle school academic record will be required. We need 4 years of academic work.
For your college/university attendance (tertiary level): submit all official academic records, marksheets, or grade reports, and any certificates, degrees, diplomas, or statements of graduation or completion from each college or university attended (except any campus of the University of Colorado). Documentation is required regardless of the length of attendance, whether or not courses were completed, and whether or not you believe the record will affect your admission or transfer credit.
The last year of work can be in progress, but academic records should still include the coursework that the student is currently enrolled in.
